The Spotlight on Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus Downtown

Stay in the Heart of Columbus with Style and Comfort

Modern yet welcoming, the Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus Downtown offers a home-away-from-home feel right in the center of the city. Just a short stroll from Capitol Square and Ohio Theater, this all-suite hotel combines convenience with comfort. Whether you’re in town for a big show or seeking a weekend escape, the hotel’s spacious rooms and central location make exploring downtown Columbus a breeze.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is within easy walking distance of some of Columbus’s most popular music venues, so there’s no need to stress about parking or rideshares. The 24-hour front desk and late check-out at noon mean you can enjoy your night without rushing the next morning. Sound insulation in rooms helps keep the post-concert buzz outside, making it easier to get some rest. Plus, with free bike rentals, you’ve got a fun, eco-friendly way to get to shows across downtown.

  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar offer convenient dining without having to leave the hotel. While there’s no full 24/7 room service, many rooms come equipped with full kitchens featuring a microwave, fridge, and dishwasher—perfect for late-night bites. The hotel also offers a complimentary breakfast, ideal after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

You're steps from some of the city's best bars, lounges, and live music spots. While the hotel bar offers a relaxing drink close to home, the surrounding downtown area gives you plenty of options to keep the night going. Whether you're into craft brews, cocktails, or low-key lounges, you’ll find something nearby.

Areas for Improvement
